I have taken Diane 35 for six months. Its been 3 months since I stopped taking this medicine. But again my acne are coming back. What I can do??

Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication. Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35 1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence. 2. Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as: - Topical retinoids - Benzoyl peroxide - Salicylic acid - Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)
